Is FanFiction.net down on Tuesday August 4, 2020? In the past we have seen error type 2 messages and the search function run into problems, although the message to try again in a few minutes doesn’t help when a fix takes many hours to appear. Leave the issues you have today below.

  • Spiffy 84730

    First it was notifications, now reviews just aren’t showing up on the site. In our inbox yes, on the site itself, not so much. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

    • Allison Gamble

      Did this problem fix itself? Because I’m also having reviews just not turning up – 24 hours and counting.

  • Spiffy 84730

    Invalid Message 3
    We cannot find the review you are replying to.

  • Bianca Garzez

    503 error: please alert the admins if this error persists.

  • Justa Guy

    Seems that today you can’t log in. I thought I forgot my password it just kept cycling to the page to ask me my email and password, not even saying I got it wrong. I eventually asked for my Pword to be reset and get the same result. Just and endless loop of the login screen that won’t ever accept my password or even tell me I did it wrong.

  • Rasalas Black

    On the other hand, we might get it back with a lot of fics gone and deleted.
    ~shudders~

    • Kenny Lavecchia

      Me too! Why does this situation with Error Type 1 have to repeat again this year?
      I hope everythng goes back to normal very soon tomorrow, because I can’t imagine myself being unable to read or write fanfics there. If this s the site’s new traditon, then that’s NOT cool!

  • diamondbride

    I was just reading and it gave me an Error Type 1. And this time ALL parts of FFN are down, it’s not just one chapter here and there.

    • Tristan Mitchell

      I can access the main page and my profile, but can’t load any chapters or the forums. (Forums was just because I needed to know the extent. Who would actually use those crappy forums?)

  • Jalen Ash

  • Maria Niewiadomska

    I hope they’ll fix this problem, because as a fanfic bookworm I can’t live without reading fanfics. I need to write my own fanfics as well. Maybe tomorrow everything will be fine? I’m gonna pray for Fanfiction. Net’s long existence. Nothing can go wrong, can it?

  • Ellen Corless

    I’ve been trying to get online all day and it just keeps saying error! Why the hell aren’t the staff doing something about this?!

  • Ash Prasaad

    • QueenSnake

      yep

  • Kaitlyn Farren

    It’s down on everything, it was working at around 10 this morning but, since then both error 503 and 504 have appeared – I have checked Twitter and there does not seem to be any acknowledgement on this happening or what they are doing to fix it.

  • lin11

    it’s down again
    504 gateway timeout

    • Val

      same

  • Gladys Aleman

  • Marawan Khater

    anyone knows when this might be fixed? I got a story I need to update.

    • James Stokes

      I would expect the server to be back up later this afternoon. That should be enough time for the IT technicians to replace whatever broke, be it, code or equipment.

  • Privado Privado

    It’s fine for a second, then it stop loading later, for a strange reason…

    • [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

      I think I don’t know I think a Cyber atteck ongoing At that ip

  • Jen Evans

    I hate not knowing. It was fine last night, but it’s been down for almost three hours. I wonder if it has to do with this net nuetrality issue.

  • QueenSnake

    i hope FF will be fixed soon…

  • michael

    does anyone know how to find out when the servers will be back up ?

  • Federica Pirola

    Loading time is apparently infinite and errors like 503 or type 1 while clicking my account keep appearing.

  • HKVoyage

    I’m having problems this morning as well. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a computer, iPad or phone.

  • Naisafuri Ghistani

    Mine show request failed

  • MARKOO92

    Not sure how it would be on PC, but the mobile app simply won’t load. I even tried reinstalling the app, but now I just can’t log in.

    • Abigail Shaw

      Same here. It really sucks.

    • Naisafuri Ghistani

      Same with me

  • Brendyn A. Robertson

    Mine said 503 Service Unavailable. Why this keep happening?!

    • Jen Evans

      You got me. It looks promising at first, and then it goes loopy.

  • Theodora X

    Sometimes it shows me the “503 Service Unavailable” message and sometimes the “Error Type 1” message…I have access on the homepage, but I can’t go to my profile, read my stories and open my PM Inbox.

  • Chiew Jian Xian

    Mine says error type 1

  • Annabeth Sanchez

    I only got a “503 Service Unavailable” message and sometimes just a plain white screen, on both the computer and the my phone. D:

    • Jen Evans

      Makes you want to rip your hair out.

  • Roxanne Delacour

    It was fine few hours ago and now it’s completely unavailable, both in my laptop and mobile phone! 🙁

    • Naisafuri Ghistani

      Me too

  • Sylwia

    Also error 503. FF worked fine a couple of hours ago, but now the server is definitely dead.

  • Solomi

    503 Service Unavailable
    No server is available to handle this request.

  • Pocohontus

    It keeps saying “504 Gateway Time-out

    The server didn’t respond in time.”
    and i have to load like 5 times before the chapter comes up

    • Pocohontus

      Well it’s not working completely anymore, it won’t even load

  • Lady Kimiko

    I normally (always) use the FFN app on my tablet to read, but today is the first time it has acted up. In fact, it is 6:15am on March 17, and around 5:45am or so is when Fanfiction would not allow me to load the next chapter, nor anything else since. I had also updated it in hopes that that was the cause for the error, but unfortunately no luck. I feel deprived and worried.

  • Lilie T

    since 3 days, this marks me “the site is not accessible”, other people are in the same case?

  • Aliya Fathma Najihati

    I can’t publish a new story as everytime I choose the category of my story, the window that appears keeps reloading. There was no issue a month ago. It hasn’t been fixed until now, please fix it?

  • MaRa

    Is anybody going to solve whatever problem the app is having???! It’s been more than a week!!!!!

  • MaRa

    It says “data loading failed. Please try again”, and it keeps doing it every time I try to sign in.

  • helena

    page doesn’t load for me

  • Ani89

    It’s fixed…..for now l:(

  • Bella Albogatchieva

    Fanfiction x search page only shows blank screen when it’s done loading

  • Code C1 for me

  • Aaron Sloper

    This has also been happening to me as well, and not only just today. The error messages read as either “503 Service Unavailable – No server is available to handle this request” or “Unable to Process Authentication – We could not process your Network Account authentication. Please try again later. Code FC1” or simply “Login Failed” depending upon what device I’m using to try logging in with. What gives? If any information has been lost, whether it being story material or otherwise, I’m going to be majorly PO’d.

  • KenyanBunnie Covet

    Im still getting 503 Message for almost every story I try and open. Ga!

    • Nicholas Waller

      Same!

  • tim balcom

    seems to be working again, atleast for now.

  • Sean McCain

    Their Twitter page said it was an eta 2hrs getting the error fixed but that was posted seven hours ago, so much for getting it fixed in two hours. The admins need to take their head out of there a** and do their jobs, this is getting old real fast.

  • Nù Gú

    Seems like I’m not the only one getting stuck on this for a whole day… Hope things go well, sb please fix it quickly quickly quickly….

  • Keaven

    How long is it gonna take for them to finally get it working right again?

  • Gianti Maria Angela

    I can’t open my account ;^;

  • Ben Vogt

    This has been happening to me today, and last night, and it’s really annoying me >_<

  • Bella Albogatchieva

    Fanfiction filter isn’t showing any stories

  • nano “Rayisoar Dragabyss” arre

    yeah, I can’t get into my account at all either!

  • Ani89

    I was trying to see my PMs then it just gave me an error 503 service unavailable; I can’t access my account and its ticking me off.

  • Robin Elyce Dolliver

    I’m finally trying to update my story after about 4 years of hiatus. I go to update, and boom, FF won’t load. QUITE UPSETTING, lol
    I guess I’ll just start on the next chapter…

    • Bobianen

      Robin Elyce Dolliver whats your fanfic called?

  • Amber Wolmarans

    I haven’t been able to connect for about a hour now. Which is really shitty because I was in the middle of an epic chapter! Please sort it out soooon!

    • ashMeadow

      ditto i tried both the app and the website and neither are currently working

  • Sarah Dixon

    It’s been down roughly fifteen minutes now, I believe. I’m so frustrated because I was just getting to a reconciliation between characters and now I’m worried it’ll be down for hours, or days – it’s done it before. It’s rage inducing when you can do nothing about it; we have no way to report this issue to anyone.

  • Alex Potter

    I was in the middle of reading a story and now it won’t connect at all, I’ve been reloading for the last 20 minutes and even the damn app is down.

  • Melissa Mauck

    Haven’t been able to login to my account for about an hour now.

  • I am unable to login to my account. I really need to post my new chapter today.

  • Keaven

    It’s back.

  • Flower Skull21

    Yeah, this website is so glitchy….it’s kind of to the point where I’m about done. What frustrates me most is the lack of communication from the admins. I mean, is the problem even being fixed?

  • The Man Emperor of Man Kind

    Well pm alerts seem to be Down again

  • squaredplanet

    Wow, i thought i was the only one. Updated a story a couple hours ago. I dont usually get reviews that quickly so i was real excited when I saw some appear on the review count but I cant find it on the website/review page for the story. I even tried mobile cause I thought my browser was just being annoying but nada

    • Joyytailnote

      Literally same for me! It tells me I’ve got reviews for my new chapters but I can’t read them, it’s so frustrating

      • arun Randhawa

        I have sent three emails surrounding the problem in the past week. Last time I had a problem they replied within a day. Now they haven’t replied at all. A WHOLE DAMN WEEK!

    • arun Randhawa

      It’s been like that for the past week. It says I have 14 reviews but when I go to the review site it only shows six.

  • Dragonis Prime

    It’s working for me now.

    • Baby Bear Alien

      yeah, me too.

  • Beth

    This is the message I get when I try to upload.

    File Upload ProblemThe file upload process has failed. Please try again. If the error repeats, please email the
    file in question to site support.

    Error Message: File upload was not successful.

  • Theodora X

    I have the exact same problem, I’ve been trying to upload a new document since yesterday and it always shows me the “Error Type 1” message. Reloading the page doesn’t help either, although the rest of the site works just fine. I hope the problem will be fixed soon.

    • chris

      Yah, so dO I. I WANT IT FIXED NOW!!!

  • Roxas KH

    I just now recently experience the issue that is going on, I don’t know why but it wasn’t like that before so I am not so sure… it says,

    “FanFiction.Net Error Type 1
    An error has occurred while processing your request.

    Please email this error message in full to support@fanfiction.com.

    All errors are logged for administrative and security purposes.

    /docs/docs.php 2018-02-04 10:03:13″
    That is very strange, the app is working just fine, but I hope Fanfiction. net will fix it so I can add more stories again…

  • I’m having troubles too. Whenever I try to upload a document I get a white page saying “FanFiction.Net Error Type 1”. I’ve been trying all day, but the problem persist.

  • Sandz Anjewelraine T

    ok what is going on! I cant upload anything, it just gives me thsi little message saying error code 1, and if I send an email to support it bounces back saying it cant find the address! I have chanpters to upload and no way of doing it! this is very frustrating! Please fix this quickly fan fiction!,

  • Cammy Henderson

    I can’t upload new documents, but i can upload new chapters (if i over write other another document).

    • annsavage

      Thanks for the tip! Using an existing doc to upload a new chapter worked! I’ve been trying to post a new story for more than 24 hours, but the upload system has been down for two days, and is still down.

      • Cammy Henderson

        Your welcome! Also, Thank you for the note! I was worried I was the only one getting the error!

        • annsavage

          My pleasure! I also think the system being broken is what’s keeping my stats so low lately. In addition to writers not being able to upload new chapters, some folks are reporting that they can’t read their favorite stories in progress. Bummer!

    • Sungji-ssi

      You made my day with that tip. Thank you so much, you’re pretty smart 🙂

      • Cammy Henderson

        Your welcome!

  • Deadly Dave

    Ugh!!! I can’t upload my chapters. This problem happens every other day now.

    • Baby Bear Alien

      yeah me too. start from tomorrow, i can uplode in doc manager. whats going on??

    • What The Mation

      Same. I really want to update and post a new chapter

  • Imogen

    Yes! I had an error message, too. Had trouble this week uploading my chapter. What is up?

  • Safyras

    Tried uploading a new chapter and while I got the email saying it was posted and in the edit chapters option it is there, the chapter does not appear in the fic itself, nor will the email link open up. Says ‘message type 1 – please check to see you are using an outdated url.’

  • Karenbell2021

    my updates won’t show up on the site i get fic alerts or new story alert i get story not found or the new chapter has not appeared even if i get alerts

  • Doggo Toebeans

    My account is inaccessible
    & my story seems to be unable to be found…

  • CynderFanForever

    Unable to upload the eighth chapter of my story. Been trying to deal with it, going through all the different accepted types of files, but none of it is working, and it’s starting to get very annoying.

  • LadyAngelchan

    I keep getting “Retry” though.. What’s going on?

  • Prunelle Mongongu

    It’s working again !!!!

  • Kristine Nguyen

    Dang, I’ve been getting this message and I’m actually surprised it’s happening to everyone here too. It’s probably something going on with the website and may be fixed in a few hours. Hopefully. I need to finish reading my fanfiction. -_-

  • Mia Marie

    Currently Sunday, Jan. 14th, 2018 @ 6:56 PM EST – Still getting 503 Error or “Oops! That page cannot be found!” Seems like the servers went kaput. This sucks. :/

  • audeamelie

    Today logging in is okay, last night I could read a fanfic I search by the author name, everything seems to be working except publishing a story, basically just getting a file into the Document Manager, even a Copy/Paste is impossible.

  • Michelle Selena Alvarez

    It keeps saying 503 service unavailable. One minute it works, a minute later it doesn’t work. It’s really frustrating

  • Vicky Cockburn

    Keep getting error 503 messages and I can’t login.

  • Lin Raider

    FF keeps giving Error 503 and type 1 error for the past few days

  • Aria

    I live in Malaysia. I’ve been trying on all of my devices to open Fan-fiction.net. Now I’ve resorted to using A03 and LiveJournal.

    I desperately need to read.
    I hope it will be back up soon.

  • Amber Marie Jackson

    I hope it will be back up soon was trying to write

  • MrCapa1000

    Im trying to open a document on my iphone 6 plus app but it wont load, and i cant access other stories to read either. I live in Malaysia

    • Aria

      So do I. I thought it was just me. I’ve been trying to read SPN and Harry Potter fanfiction, but for some reason it never seems to load.
      I’ve tried all my devices.
      I guess I have to resort to using A03/LiveJournal

  • Christina

    Hey guys, I don’t know if this applies or not, but just this evening when I was reading a random fanfic and wanted to see reviews, or go anywhere else on the site, this came up with the whole “DSN area timed out” or something like that. Youtube and everybody else works fine. Any ideas?

  • psychicgirl32

    The website can’t be reached even while I’m connected to the internet.

  • Nikki Summer

    My fanfiction account is connected to my Facebook account, so naturally I don’t manually type my email/username or password I just press “log in with Facebook”, so the previous week some problems occurred in my Facebook that lead me to change password and today I had visited my fanfiction app it logged me out and couldn’t log in again, it kept saying that I should check my internet or that some countries blocked Facebook, Google etc. Which in my country is available, my first thought is it’s because of the changes of my Facebook but I guess not anymore… I hope this will be fixed soon.

  • Grace

    Hello, I have an account on Fanfiction and I have been receiving reviews overnight, but they aren’t displayed on my story. Is this because of the failure of the site?

    • Chris

      I thought I was going crazy, but it seems you have the same issue. I posted a story and there have been reviews reported, but I cannot see them.

  • alyaa

    i cant open fanfiction.net for a couple of months now and its driving me crazy! please help if someone know what exactly is going on with this site???

  • Pipi Aki

    THANKGOODNESS Someone had the same just like me.! I cant open the fanfiction.. i try so hard!!! Plss i need to read… pls how to fix it!!

    The Malaysian Government are doing this to just win the election.

    Showing to the people, oh look we the current Malaysian Government are so wise and honourable to close these sites because they have obscene things. You should vote for us because we are holy, pure and superior. We are making the country a better place. Malaysia boleh, Satu Malaysia!

    Well BOLLOCKS. They are definitely primitive savages to think that people are that stupid to be inspired by doing something like this now, after all they’ve done, especially after leaving fanfiction accessible to the public since 2000.

    I curse them and I hope they will meet the same fate as the Romanov and their bones not to be laid to rest but rather be displaced in museums where we can all look down on them and smile.

  • Syaza Kiai

    Connection server timeout.
    My wifi connection is very fine by the way.
    I can even play games online with a fast internet connection.
    Why isn’t it applying the same towards FanF site?
    Im Malaysian by the way.
    Please fix or tell me how to fix it since I’m overdue with my story update.

    • Mark Tee

      I am Malaysian too. It seems that all of us are having issues.

  • Arjun Narsipur

    FanFiction TOTALLY glitching out. Login and account buttons that are usually at the top right are missing. I’m able to go to my account home page because of a bookmark but if I click on ‘Favourite Stories’, ‘Private messages’ or anything on the left are, nothing happens. What’s going on?

  • Sarah Dillion Strunk

    im typing in my correct email and password and IT WONT LOG ME IN!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH FANFICTION?????????????

  • Shannon Fauntleroy

    An edit that I made to a chapter a month ago still hasn’t been fixed to the public, I wrote a new chapter 5 days ago and it still hasn’t shown up, and my cover picture for my story still hasn’t shown up and I uploaded it 5 days ago as well.

  • File won’t upload. It’s a fully supported ODT file. Pretty upset.

  • The Anonymous Otaku

    Me and 2 others are having trouble with a specific topic on our forum, where when we try to access it, it comes up with Error Type 2. Emailed the support 3 times and nothing. This has been going on for a week…

  • Queenbee Cherry

    It is saying: error type 1 when I try to use the search engine : hope this gets fixed.

  • Malea Ogilvie

    It’s not letting me. The message says:

    • Malachi

  • Fanime364

    Ugh, I can’t access the site:( I looked it up and apparently the site is up and running smoothly right now. My internet is working and I can access everything else so does anybody know what might be wrong?

  • CureBlack01

    I’m getting this error on a forum on 2 different pages…

  • Румен Ивайлов Стефанов

    Good news to all of you! The problem with me is fixed! Check out and see if it fixed with any of you!

  • Arturo Reyes Urquiza

    Yeah me too, I can`t post any new stories, it always appears a blank pages after click on “Continue”. I thought I was the only one. I hope this problem can be fix it as soon as possible

  • mecelphie

    I’ve tried to upload my new chapter for the past couple of hours and get that Error type 2 message. It is frustrating.

  • No Idea

    Wow, I’m glad I’m not the only one! Does anyone have any idea how long it’ll take to fix? It’s starting to really annoy me now :/

  • blusheu

    Thank goodness, I thought it was only me, I mean, with all my inactiveness recently.
    I hope to have this fixed soon! It would be disappointing for readers to not get their scheduled update because of this error.

  • Korrasami

    I finally get a weekend that I don’t have to work and have time to write and fanfic errors strike again! Ugggg, please don’t take a week to fix! ;(

  • Megan Zamora

    I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this.

    I keep on trying to publish or manage my stories, but it keeps on telling me that I’m probably a spammer and to try again later.

    And if I try to post a topic on forum about this issue, I also got an error type 2 message.
    I really hope this all will fix soon 🙁

  • thunder3swords

    I have had the type 2 error problem for the past 24 hours when trying to load a chapter for my story. I eventually managed to do it by clicking on the ‘copy n paste’ option instead and pasting the chapter in the box provided and it worked! I then saved it and uploaded the chapter in the usual way. Hope that helps people out.

    • Viniminho

      !!

  • Smngrfl88

    Same issue. Cannot update my story!

  • CJ Jenny Carroll

    Been getting the Error Type 2 for about 2 days myself as I try to upload chapters.

    • Sabrina Ann Gilchrist

      yeah its been a whole mess. Wish I had known before I had taken 5 hours to do nothing but finish final edits for a OS. But oh well… hopefully it will be up soon!

  • Ravenous Hardz

    Has anyone received a message like this?: “You might be a spammer. Please try again later.”

    Because I got one… Its annoying tbh.

    • Megan Zamora

      Yeah it happened to me to everytime I try to publish or manage a story. And I agree with you that it’s annoying.

  • Spada

    I had the same Type 2 error last night.
    Just when I was finally about to upload after a year. I tried twodifferent Word document files but I guess it didn’t work.

    Last time, I had another error (I don’t remember what it said) but I think it had to do with the file name?

    • Fox Gaming

      Same, started writing again after a year, and this happens after a problem with my wifi. Haven’t been able to upload for 3-4 days, like, come on!

  • Damn. I was hoping to post a new story, but got a Type 2 error when trying to upload a file to “manage docs” :/ hope this gets resolved soon!

  • William X Easley

    I get stuck with a Type 2 error when trying to upload a file in “Manage Docs.” It’s been two days now.

    • Natalia Trujillo Rodríguez

      Me too. I don’t know what I have to do? I thought that it was a problem in Spain, but I see that isn’t.

  • SHONEN_ EMILY

    I cant publish a chapter of my on going fanfic while people are waiting after i took a week break and this happens!

  • Румен Ивайлов Стефанов

    This error problem is affecting me as well! I’ve finished chapter 40 of my Kingdom Hearts x Soul Eater story. Yet, I cannot post it – At all! Hope this issue gets resolved soon…

  • M jauzi Al Ghifari

    i wanna share my first fic,but this problem block my path….would this problem get fixed soon…

  • Hydrocell

    Whenever I attempt to publish a new story the screen goes blank. I can get past basically every procedure from the category up to the title, description, etc…. But when I submit it, the screen goes blank and I have to wait many minutes before I can try to publish again, only to be met with the same fate.

  • Sabrina Ann Gilchrist

    I cannot post a new story- waiting in 30min intervals to try again and the page just goes blank. On hour 3 of trying to post!

    • Will Engel

      Glad to hear I’m not the only one having this problem. For real, what’s going on?

  • Chris Paans

    Yeah I can’t upload any documents on FanFiction or FictionPress. Annoying!

  • MirageTale

    I also can’t upload any stories or images! I really wanted to have my new story up this weekend! Please fix this bug soon!

  • Dustin Vance

    how long does it usually take to fix these problems? i just finished the 27th chapter for my kingdom hearts/ sword art online crossover and i would like to post it.

  • Mariette Agreste

    The forums won’t let me post even on mobile or the app for fanfiction. Even the normal web browser isn’t allowing me. It’s soooooo annoying. It’s been like this since last night for me.

  • Melynda Smith

    I was trying to upload another chapter to one of my stories and this annoying alert keeps popping up.

  • Fox Gaming

    Was about to upload the next chapter of my story, when I got the message. Annoying.

  • Julia Sapiens

    I wanted to upload a new chapter of my story. Though I’ve tried it on different times and by rebooting it still doesn’t work.

  • Collin Matthew

    I’ve been trying to post a forum reply, but whenever I press “submit” it just sends me to a blank screen instead of the normal one letting me return to the original page. In addition it does not even post the reply….

  • Jack C

    I have been trying to reply to a post since last night. It just directs me to a blank page. I have no clue what to do.

  • Nightshade2412

    I have been able to read stories, but it is preventing me from posting or uploading images.

  • Kim Fletcher

    Received an error message last week when uploading and reported it. Didn’t get an email noting the update like I usually do either. Same thing this Monday morning as well. Sent the message off to support again.

    • Patricia Malemes

      It’s been this way for about 2 weeks now. I’m wondering what’s going on this time and if it will ever get fixed this time. FanFiction doesn’t usually take this long to fix errors and bugs. I posted a final chapter to a story I’ve been working on for almost 3 years and it would be nice if readers could get a notification and actually read it. I feel like I’m in limbo…:)

      • Kim Fletcher

        Completely agree. I have had no response to either of my error message emails (not that I was expecting one) and there is no official notification about the issue as far as I can see.

        • Patricia Malemes

          It’s back up, by the way, as of this morning. I reposted and it is showing it now!

          • Kim Fletcher

            Thanks for the update!

          • Patricia Malemes

            You’re very welcome…

    I have the same issue as Ana Padilla. Got error message when I updated my story but while the chapter posted, last updated date is still reading an old date. Didn’t get my customary email when I updated either. Although chapter is clearly up, my chapter stats still read at 0.

  • Ana Padilla

    I updated my story on April 30 2017
    The new chapters were posted succesfully. But it wont change the new update date.
    It says i last made an update on november. I noticed this because i got a review saying “Even thought its been a long time please update soon”
    I was like… But i just updated the story lastnight.

    I do remember that when i added the new chapters i got an error message… Didnt think anything because despite that, the chapters were posted.

    I can’t load any page from the website at all. It’s bothering me quite a bit, since I’d promised to publish something today 🙁

  • Delaney Sheridan

    I’m trying to upload a new chapter in doc manager and it is giving me a blank screen every time I hit submit. Why is that?

  • Vicky C

    Instead of having Type 2, I have Type 1.

  • William Yamamoto

    I can’t access it since the middle of this year, everytime I try trough Safari the Server stops responding.

  • Jazmin

    Its november 2016 and I´ve only had to deal with this for the past 4 days and its already irritating me.

    My reviews wont show up but I can at least see them when I get an email notification.

    Not only that but to us writers its vital that our stories show up on the archive when we update so as to reach a new audience but its not doing that. My story just keeps getting pushed down further into the depths of the Fanfiction website

  • masterchief117

    I can’t view any more reviews or get the new review notifications. But still i can see the review numbers increasing whenever a new one is posted.

  • I was happy like any fanfiction writer when I notice that the number of reviews is increasing but when I click on the link to read them, I only find my old reviews. The number changes but I still can’t find them.

  • Charlie

    FanFiction won’t let me see any reviews posted to my story… the marker that tells me how many reviews I’m getting keeps going up and I’m getting email notifications, but it won’t let me see or reply to new reviews.

  • kuromimis

    I’ve been trying to access ff.net throughout the day, but the server isn’t responding and would not load. I also tried switching devices and browsers but the result is still the same.

  • Sleeping S.

    For me, it’s been four days. For others in Japan, it’s been more than a week – apparently, a lot of people in Japan are unable to access Fanfiction.net AT ALL.
    I seriously would like to know if the government – or something else altogether – is blocking our accesses. And I don’t get WHY they would block something as healthy and creative (and economically blessed).
    If fanfiction.net could do something about this from their sites, much appreciated…?

    • Chris

      Just want to say that this is true. It’s been like this for me for over 2-3 months now. One day FFN just stopped working, wouldn’t load and got constant timeouts but every checking website says it’s up and accessible.

      The amusing thing is, it IS accessible from my workplace, but not from my home or smartphone. IS this limited to Japan or are there others with the same problem. Having searched around it may be a problem with FFN’s DNS servers or something but I have no idea how to fix it.

  • Fanfiction doesn’t let me login to my account and it’s been going on like this for a week. It Directs me somewhere else and says to login and says I have to be logged in to login.

  • Carlee

    I read fanfics off this site on chrome on my cell phone. Can read the stories just fine but ever since sometime on May 12th 2016 I haven’t been able to see any new review posts for any stories. Mine or anyone else’s. Stories update fine and I can read those but I can’t see any new reviews that are posted sometime around May 12th 2016 and any day after May 12th 2016. A story I started reading on the day it was posted (posted on May 12th 2016) and by now it says it has 35 reviews (that’s including 2 of my own ) but when I tap on the review thing to read the reviews, it just says “no reviews.” It’s been saying that even on the day the story was posted. 🙁 Any reviews that are posted by others and myself aren’t there ever since sometime on May 12th 2016. Help!

  • Ellie

    The website isn’t down, but none of my reviews are being posted to my story. does anyone know when this might be fixed? I’ve looked at another websites and saw other people are having this issue as well.

  • Lewis

    Site is down since approx. 6:45am GMT December 15th 2015. Funny how I had reloaded my entire browser around 6:35 and all fanfiction links restored to full status, yet minutes later, trying to change a chapter led to Connection Time Out error.

  • Fray

    Fan fiction Net has been down for around 24 hours for me, is it still down of others?

    • Sara

      Yes, it is still down. Oh the updates I’m missing ; (

    • Fareeha

      Yaaa its down.. sice yesday.. desparately waiting fr it to come back
      .. missing reading stories

  • Anon

    I can’t login, the site gives error message. “503 Service Unavailable
    No server is available to handle this request.”
    Doesn’t seem to be only my problem either, as the last fanfics published in any fandom and any forums posts made on any forum are timed 14 hours ago. It stands to reason that no-one had been able to log in after that.

    Also, I have trouble using filters when searching for fanfiction in any specific category; I get to pick some preferences (for example, character A and B; the rating; sort) , but not all, and eventually it freezes up my whole browser without letting me finish.

    • Dan

      I’ve also been seeing problems with FanFiction and getting errors.

  • Katrina

    fanfiction not working again, NYC. Got up real early too.

  • Tommy

    I resulted to searching google for fanfiction harry potter, twilight, percy jackson, and more to find the articles. In most cases you are taken to the categories with no results showing, so the servers are down again today.

  • Ben

    Once again, the FanFiction updates stop and all categories show no results with different errors. I guess FanFiction is down for the second day, Aug 12. Anyone else go issues pulling up stories?

  • Llama

    No new updates of stories since the 11th for very active fandoms. No bumping to the first page for updated stories. I don’t think the site is quite back to normal yet. I guess I’ll just take a break from it for a day. Maybe talk to people I guess… -_-

  • Will

    Fan fiction seems to be back up as of 8:17 pm eastern US seaboard. Don’t know if it’s the same for anyone else but I’m able to load up stories now.

  • Kirk

    I want to know how to bypass the error type 2?

  • Roberto

    FanFiction website is up but it’s filled with problems, the servers are obviously being worked on but it’s becoming a joke after trying for hours. I cannot view anything, but can access articles when going directly to a known link.

  • rica

    Is the website down cannot load anything

  • Ben

    I keep getting the fanfiction.net error type 2 glitch, also when performing a search it just states “search feature down”. When looking in categories I see another error that states, “No entries found with current filters. Note: M rated entries are not displayed by default. Please expand your filter”.
